AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW

Dear Poetry Reviewer, If you would like to review a poetry publication for GALATEA RESURRECTS (A POETRY ENGAGEMENT), you can choose what to review from your sources or from list of review copies sent to us. All reviewing styles are acceptable; in general, I suggest that you excerpt from poems to exemplify whatever points you make in your review. To Publishers/Authors Sending Review Copies -- I prefer to receive 2 copies of each title; but 1 copy is fine, too, if your supply is low. Send to:

PUBLIC ACCESS #1, Edited by Nicholas Grider (a new, free and photocopied journal featuring a poet "whose work you likely already know with a poet whose work you should know." The inaugural issue features work by Laura Elrick and Molly McPhee. -- REVIEWED (#8) BUT AVAILABLE FOR MORE REVIEWS

(* The titles above with asterisk on them are published by Meritage Press, which I founded/edit/publish. I thought about whether this is a conflict, but then also reconsidered to conclude: I see no reason to make the MP authors not eligible for review -- it's their words, not mine, being assessed.

** My poetry collections are not eligible for GR but I've decided to allow books that I've edited, to the extent they're primarily about the edited poets' works and not my poems.)

+ Being considered by potential reviewers, but no commitment yet (& so still available for reviews)

*****
The phrase "ASSIGNED or REVIEWED but available for more reviews" refers to how different people can read the same poem differently and so, to the extent review copies are available, I'm perfectly willing to publish more than one review of the same book.

Dear Eileen:Craig Perez mentioned your site to me. I think it's terrific what you're doing. I'm going to send you a some titles: an anthology I edited, just out; and a book of my own that came out in 2005.

Again, thank you for doing this. I look forward to reading from here. And I love that you post different reviews of the same book.

Hi Eileen. Great site you have - still discovering its many treasures.

I have two books forthcoming from UST Publishing House. How do I go about getting those reviewed in your site? I am also interested in writing reviews, but I'm in Cape Town, South Africa. Would that be a problem? Thanks.
